lyrics

Promise you won't speak a word
I'll tell you everything I’ve ever heard

I’ll whisper all my secrets you’re the only one I’d tell
drop dead or swear it, and I’ll swear it to you as well
honey we keep running so we really might as well
beat our feet until we reach the exit, hit the ground running like hell

Promise you won't speak a word
And I'll confess my sins
as i repeat them word for word
I realize they're my only accomplishments

i ache to see tomorrow, one more spin around this earth
and all my friends and family seem to not know what they’re worth
we tear apart our bodies and it only sort of hurts
I’ve been waiting on a taxi, but I think I’d rather call a hearse

if this is it we might as well be angry and be loud
all i want to do is somehow crawl out of this crowd
you know all of this is something I could never do without
You are here and I am here and that is all I need for now

i never turned to a bottle but i got this pen in my hands
only salvation's in confessing all my previous sins
said it once and then again that when i read you my list
they’re all my only accomplishments
but i wish i knew what you want me to do
right now anyone could see right through
my whole facade is painted on i wish i could fit into the outline i drew
look around at all these pretty faces that we’re next to
I’ll show you my secrets, the scars under my tattoos
this journal and pencil’s always been my spray and my stencil
i don’t pray to your god, but i know this body’s a rental
I’ve been trying to move but all i can do is stand still
look I’ll rip out my heart just so you’ll have a memento
now I'm arresting and wrestling my resurrected depression
man I’ve been tryna find my own way but I’m stuck no directions
fear’s been eating me lately, it’s like some constant convention
i know that i can’t be perfect, so I’m stuck hating perfection

just love me tonight
and then
tomorrow

if you love me tonight
please come back
tomorrow
